has just delivered their votes which means that all nations have now voted and we have no disqualifications this year The voting window will officially end tomorrow (Friday) at midnight GMT after which I will post details about the voting order draw. It’s likely going to be a random draw from a random generator site to save time in this busy period. I will schedule the draw and post a ticket so users can view the result after the scheduled time. More to come on that on Saturday. Thanks again to all participants

I am pleased to announce that the host nation has submitted their votes. This means voting is now OPEN to all jury members For any new jury members, just sending a reminder on how this process works. Once you have listened to all songs and are happy that you know which 12 songs you want to vote for, send those votes by PRIVATE MESSAGE to the organiser, @OlympicIRL. All votes are kept secret until the Grand Final, so please don't indicate in chat who you voted for to keep the surprise element intact on the Grand Final. On many occasions the final vote has crowned the winner so that's why it's important to keep the suspense alive . Additionally, as well as voting for your 12 favourite entries and awarding points from 1 to 12, please submit a 1st, 2nd and 3rd reserve in case some nations withdraw. Please indicate the priority of your reserves also. I have included a voting template below which you can utilize to send your votes, if you so wish Jury members you have until 21:00 GMT on Friday, December 5th to submit your votes by private message, so plenty of time to get listening to those entries . @Erigert@konig@hoversaBR@Federer91@Topicmaster1010@Vic Liu@Agger@Wumo@Benolympique@Bohemia@catgamer@Dragon@maestro@Yannakis@Fer GUA@Fly_like_a_don@Roamingrover86@Griff88@Dnl@Gianlu33@Henry_Leon@Pablita@SteveParker@Ruslan@Bearas@Glen@mrv86@heywoodu@rybak@kungshamra71@IoNuTzZ@NikolaB@Bailer@hckošice@justony@Cobi@Belle@amen09@Memo@Illya@dezbee2008@Olympian1010 Rank Nation Points 1st Nation 12 2nd Nation 11 3rd Nation 10 4th Nation 9 5th Nation 8 6th Nation 7 7th Nation 6 8th Nation 5 9th Nation 4 10th Nation 3 11th Nation 2 12th Nation 1 13th Nation 1st Reserve 14th Nation 2nd Reserve 15th Nation 3rd Reserve

You might notice that there's only 33 quotas assigned in the women's 1500m. That's because after the initial assignment of quotas, there were 115 quotas which is 3 over the limit. According to the qualification system, the 1500m distances are the last events to assign quotas since they have a max quota of 36 instead of 32. For the men's event, France, Hungary, and Ukraine have the last spots and removing them wouldn't affect the quota totals. Therefore unfortunately, I had to remove one quota from Croatia, Hong Kong and Poland to get the total to 112. We'll see what the NOC does about all this. If anyone actually knows the correct procedures, please comment below. Changes in Quotas from the last update: Men's 500m: No changes Men's 1000m: In: Hong Kong 1 Out: Ukraine 1 Men's 1500m: In: Poland 2 Out: Great Britain 3 Men's 5000m Relay: In: Hungary Out: United States Women's 500m: In: Korea 3 Out: France 2 Women's 1000m: In: Neutral Athletes 1, China 3 Out: Poland 3, Great Britain 1 Women's 1500m: In: Kazakhstan 2, Belgium 2 Out: Great Britain 1, Latvia 1, Slovakia 1, Ukraine 1, Hong Kong 1 Full SOQC's Below: Men's 500m Men's 1000m Men's 1500m Men's 5000m Relay Women's 500m Women's 1000m Women's 1500m Women's 3000m Relay Mixed 2000m Relay *Only for teams with at least 2 men + 2 women

We are waiting on just and to vote now. @Glen @Illya Glen has been in touch to say he needs another 24 hours to get his votes in which is fine! I am hoping to receive all votes by this Friday at the latest as I need to start my preparations for the voting templates.

Some changes that I've noticed: 3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas. Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas. Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality. Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium. Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16. Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas. Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia. Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts. Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier. Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return of World Cup qualifiers. Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed. Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024

In many cultures, Christmas season only officially starts when the Totallympics decorations go up.

My first bulbes destroying in one move of the year done. needed only 4 attempts

A lot of the systems are now public! https://www.olympics.com/ioc/documents/olympic-games/los-angeles-2028-olympic-games @Sindo

Yes I will certainly be extending the deadline into next week. The Grand Final won’t be happening this side of New Year so there is room to extend the voting deadline. Expect an update on Friday but for sure if you need more time to listen then you have my blessing that the deadline will be extended

Two pages of bitching about biathlon and Giacomel will get a win

First career win for Naomi Urness! 3rd medal of the season already.

Unexpected boost for Team . They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests. American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics. The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play". Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport

Career best finish for Podulsky/Allan in women’s doubles at the Winterberg WC with a 5th!

US Media saying they got the hardest group out of the hosts lol

I am happy to announce a significant extension to the voting deadline. Jury members now have until 21:00 GMT, Friday, December 12th to submit their votes. This adds a full week to the existing deadline so will hopefully ensure anyone struggling with time to get some much needed extra space to listen to the songs and submit their votes Since the Grand Final won't take place until after the New Year, we have some room to move the deadline to make it easier for everyone to get their votes in

5th for Abigail Strate in women’s large hill at the Lillehammer WC!

Festival of Music For this year’s Festival of Music I thought I would change it up a bit. Since we are approaching the festive holiday season, I want you all to post some festive songs from your country. If you don’t celebrate Christmas then perhaps some other song that has a special place in your heart during an important celebration. I’m going to start with a Christmas song from Ireland’s TISC Annual 2023 representatives Picture This. Picture This - This Christmas

Bronze for Andrew Longino at the Copper Mountain Halfpipe WC!

Another gold for Reece Howden! 4th place also for Jared Schmidt.

Blondin wins bronze in the mass start. Maltais 5th. Dubreuil DNF in the men's 500

Gold for Kevin Drury in today's ski cross race!

Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances : Men 500m : pretty much done 1000m : pretty much done 1500m : pretty much done 5000m : one outlier at the moment Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket : either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of Henriksen or, less likely, Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then Sasaki is out. or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar. 10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If Maly, Petzold of Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out. Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment . Morino will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots. Team pursuit : pretty much done Women 500m : pretty much done 1000m : with Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs. Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week. Silaeva would be left out. 1500m : Lamarche not competing and Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division. Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise. 3000m : match-up between Yang and Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of Golubeva ultimately. Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them. 5000m : pretty much done Mass-start : Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her - - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS. Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. * is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.

2:02.62 200 fly for Summer McIntosh!

But on a positive note. Let’s focus on the good today because when you do it multiplies. Ivanie set a crazy time winning bronze in the women’s 1500m, Val Grenier won GS bronze, Marion Thenault won silver in the opening aerials, Brendan McKay won gold in halfpipe against a stacked field, and Naomi Urness is a young bright star in freestyle skiing winning another medal. So if the universe took away a skimo qualification for an alpine skiing medal and another great freestyle skier for Canada I’ll take it. Canada always excels in an Olympic year. I see us having our best Winter Olympics ever in terms of total medals won (30+) and I still see Piper and Paul on that Olympic podium in the ice dance despite the scandalous judging. These Olympics are where we will outshine the Americans haha

Laurent Dubreuil is on the start list for the men's 500m tomorrow! I was wondering if he was going to switch gears and focus on just one event since he is getting older. And having Stolz a virtual lock on the 1000m already.

Bronze for Ivanie Blondin in the women's 1500m!

Brendan MacKay wins stop two of the Snow League in halfpipe, with the title in Secret Garden

Bronze for Naomi Urness in women's big air!

Aurelie Moisan and Arnaud Gaudet move onto the finals in the Parallel Giant Slalom. Aurelie had the fourth fastest first run!

57.01 PB for McIntosh in the women's 100m butterfly!

6th for Lemarch in the 1000m, only .67 off the podium. Definitely in the conversation for an outside shot for a medal at the Olympics.

I think I can live with the draw , not a bad group at all. just a week ago our mafia coach said his dream group is Belgium, Egypt and Haiti, he almost got that ! but it's really hard for me (and so many others) to cheer for this team, A mafia boss coach, disgusting group of players. I never had this feeling about any NT in any sport before but still the national team is the national team. you have to like it coaches and players come and go, the team is what matters. if the team makes it to the competition, I'm sure there will be lots of Iranians in the stadium despite the orange's ban, that will never be a problem.

Now to have a musical act perform for each country in Pot 1....

Where’s Will Smith when you want him?

3:55.37 for Summer McIntosh in the 400 free at the US Open. First competition back from illness and goes the 2nd fastest time in history.

RIP Eurovision. New show called "Palestinian genocide" is oficially sponsored by EBU. Main actor State of Israel. Official anthem "Love shine a light". Shame on you EBU, shame on all of you false european democracy and bigest shame on my own country Serbia who decide to stay on this political shit show. As European, I am proud on countries like Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Slovenia and Iceland.

Just a reminder, on December 6 at 11:00am PST is the mixed relay at the Skimo WC in Solitude, we need to finish ahead of US to make our Olympic debut in the sport.

Courtney Sarault wins the women’s 1000m at the Dordrecht WC!

Another gold for Dandjinou in the 1500m! Roussel also takes silver for his first individual medal of the season.

I was bored so I decided to do a quota simulation before the winter World Cups really kicked off. Using @Topicmaster1010’s format, hope you don’t mind. I’m predicting 211 athletes in 14 sports, for 104 men and 107 women, a decrease of 4 athletes from Beijing 2022. Alpine Skiing (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (5 men + 8 women) Decrease of 1 athlete from 2022. For the men, Cameron Alexander and Jack Crawford will for sure qualify barring injury. Jeffery Read, Brodie Seger, Broderick Thompson as well. Riley Seger probably will get the sixth quota. For the women, Valerie Grenier, Alli Nullmeyer, Laurence St Germain, Britt Richardson, Cassidy Gray, and Raphael Lessard. Biathlon (8 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 8 (4 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 8 (4 men + 4 women) We qualified 4 in each gender through the Nations Cup Rankings. Men just barely made it. Women’s team will probably be Peiffer, Rousseau, Paradis, Moser. Men’s team is less certain, but I’m guessing Connelly, Runnals, Pletz, Borglum (we only have three competing at the first WC…) Bobsleigh (15 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 13 (8 men + 7 women) # of athletes in 2022: 18 (12 men + 6 women) Our men’s team is on a major fall with the retirement of Kripps, so only Pat Norton and Taylor Austin in four-men (although maybe Norton won’t?, not sure what the rankings are looking like) On the women’s side, I have Appiah/Lotholz representing us in monobob, very tough to tell though. Completely unsure as who the two-women teams but if we’re basing it off the evaluation selection races (because I don’t know nearly enough about bobsleigh) I think it’ll be Ribi/Richardson Wilson, Bujnowski/Mitchell and Sieben/Lotholz, mind you this is based off of absolutely nothing. I am curious about why Walkeden/Haughey disappeared though. That would be 7 women and 8 men for a total of 15, down 3 from Beijing 2022. Cross-Country Skiing (11 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 11 (5 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 9 (4 men + 5 women) Four quotas per gender are official. Sonjaa Schmidt, Liliane Gagnon, Katherine Stewart-Jones, Alison Mackie should make up the women’s team. Antoine Cyr, Oliver Leveille, Xavier McKeever, Remi Drolet should make up the men’s team. Going out on a limb here, think Graham Richie might be on the team as well? Have Olivia Bouffard-Nesbitt and Jasmine Drolet also on the team. Curling (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 12 (6 men + 6 women) Peterman/Gallant have already qualified, Homan will almost surely qualify, and I have Dunstone winning Olympic Trials so that would be another max team. But between Dunstone, Jacobs, Epping, McEwen and Gushue I could see anyone winning (and even Koe at this stage, with his win over Jacobs at OT) Figure Skating (12 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 12 (6 men + 6 women) # of athletes in 2022: 13 (7 men + 6 women) Already secured one men’s quota, one women’s quota, two pairs quotas, and three ice dance quotas, which is our final team through the results of World Championships. Probablt Madeline Schizas for the women’s spot, barring something unprecedented from Kaiya Ruiter, Gaby Daleman, or Sara-Maude Dupuis. For the men’s spot, Stephen Gogolev is the front-runner with Roman Sadovsky right behind him, and maybe Keegan Messing can insert himself into the mix. Pairs is locked in with Stellato-Dudek/Deschamps and Pereira/Michaud and so is ice dance with Gilles/Poirier, Lajoie/Lagha and Fabbri/Ayer. Freestyle Skiing (32 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 32 (16 men + 16 women) # of athletes in 2022: 32 (16 men + 16 women) Almost surely going to qualify 32, but almost impossible to predict who will qualify in terms of athletes on the bubble because we would be qualifying much much more if there wasn’t a cap. Men: Aerials (3): Alexandre Duchaine, Lewis Irving, Miha Fontaine Moguls (3): Mikael Kingsbury, Julien Viel, Elliot Vaillancourt Ski Cross (4): Reece Howden, Kevin Drury, Jared Schmidt, Kristofer Mahler Halfpipe (3): Brendan MacKay, Andrew Longino, Noah Bowman Slopestyle/Big Air (2): Evan McEachran, Dylan Deschamps, Max Moffatt Women: Aerials (2): Marion Thenault, Charlie Fontaine Moguls (4): Maia Schwinghammer, Laurianne Desmarais-Gilbert, Ashley Koehler, Jessica Linton Ski Cross (4): India Sherret, Marielle Thompson, Hannah Schmidt, Brittany Phelan (No Courtney Hoffos notably) Halfpipe (4): Cassie Sharpe, Rachael Karker, Amy Fraser, Dillan Glennie Slopestyle/Big Air (2): Megan Oldham, Olivia Asselin Very possible that Elena Gaskell makes it instead of Linton or Koehler. Rowell, Katrusiak, Beatty, Porter MacLennan, Therriault, Primeau, David-Chalifoux, Hoffos, McEwen, Urness, both Marineaus all miss out. Ice Hockey (48 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 48 (25 men + 23 women) # of athletes in 2022: 48 (25 men + 23 women) Maybe I’ll do roster predictions eventually, but even with my knowledge I almost always get it wrong so… Luge (7 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 7 (3 men + 4 women) # of athletes in 2022: 6 (3 men + 3 women) Caitlin Nash and Embyr-Lee Susko in women’s singles (Trinity Ellis misses out), one of Dylan Morse/Theo Downey in men’s singles, Wardrope/Zajanski in men’s doubles, and Podulsky/Allan in women’s doubles. Nordic Combined (0 athletes) We are a complete joke at this sport and won’t be qualifying anyone in the next 10000000 years or so Short Track (10 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 10 (5 men + 5 women) # of athletes in 2022: 10 (5 men + 5 women) Projected # of events in 2026: 9 # of events in 2022: 9 Full team pretty much secured. Florence Brunelle, Kim Boutin, Courtney Sarault and Danae Blais will be four of those five women, and the final spot will come down to Rikki Doak/Anne Sophie-Bachand (most likely the former, depending on injury) For the men, William Dandjinou, Felix Roussel, JPG, Steven Dubois, Maxime Laoun will be the relay barring injury. Mathieu Pelletier will be the front runner based off results at the Canadian Championships. Skeleton (4 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (2 men + 2 women) # of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women) A few weeks ago I would’ve said only Halle Clarke and Jane Chanell, but Ryan Kuehn, Josip Brusic, and Zander Greco have been doing good on the NOR-AM circuit and could possibly get us two quotas? Ski Jumping (4 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 4 (1 men + 3 women) # of athletes in 2022: 3 (1 men + 2 women) With Loutitt being injured, think Abigail Strate, Nicole Maurer, Natalie Eilers, and Mackenzie Boyd-Clowes will qualify. Ski Mountaineering (0 athletes) Projected Athletes in 2026: 0 (0 men + 0 women) # of athletes in 2022: 0 Can’t be optimistic about everything. We’re only one point ahead of US for the mixed relay continental quota and there’s only one race to go which they have home crowd advantage, don’t see it happening.

Same with Graeme Fish, Daniel Hall, Madison Pearman. Don’t think our men’s team pursuit will qualify either. Brooklyn McDougall and Alexa Scott have done well enough these first few World Cups to warrant a spot on the team.
